But today Trump tweeted: "James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did - until he was, in fact, fired.

"He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and....untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI.

"His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!"

In the book, Comey recounts the discussion about the dossier and its "golden showers" accusation.

He writes: "He (Trump) brought up what he called the ‘golden showers thing’ … adding that it bothered him if there was ‘even a one percent chance’ his wife, Melania, thought it was true,” Comey writes in A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, a copy of which was obtained by the New York Post.

“He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn’t possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him."

And today, an excerpt from an upcoming interview with Comey revealed he said it was "possible" the incident did occur.

He said: "I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don’t know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013. It’s possible, but I don’t know."

The conversation between the pair took place during the same private dinner on January 27, 2017, where Comey claims the president demanded “loyalty”.

It came just days after the publication of an intelligence dossier alleging that the Kremlin had a tape of Trump paying prostitutes to perform the dirty deed on a bed once occupied by President Obama.

He calls Trump's leadership of the country "ego driven and about personal loyalty."

And he even compares the US President to a mafia boss-like figure who sought to blur the line between law enforcement and politics and tried to pressure him regarding the investigation into Russian election interference.

Mr Comey, who stands at 6ft 8ins, also claimed Trump was shorter than he had expected and even mocked his "too long" tie.

The former FBI Director also suggested the President uses tanning booths due to the "bright white half-moons" under his eyes.
